Do I need a domain email address to send emails?

You do not need your own domain to send your newsletter from rasa.io although we do highly recommend authenticating your domain to send from if you have one.

What is DMARC and DKIM?

DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) is an email authentication protocol crucial for enhancing security by preventing email spoofing and phishing attacks. It acts as a guardian for your email, ensuring the authenticity of your sender domain.

Setting up a DMARC policy is essential for maintaining brand reputation, securing email communications, and reducing the risk of email fraud.

DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is an email authentication method that uses a digital signature to verify the authenticity of emails sent from a specific domain.

Learn more about DMARC and DKIM and how you can set it up here.

What languages do you support?

Our AI engine is compatible with English, Spanish, French, German, and Portuguese.

Sources (RSS feeds, Twitter accounts, etc.) in languages other than those can be added to your rasa.io sources list, but our system might or might not be able to pull in new articles that those sources produce.

When an article is brought into our platform from a source in a language that is not listed above, the AI cannot always effectively assign topical tags to the articles, which may limit our capability to personalize the articles according to individual subscriber interests. This may cause many of your articles to render as “Inactive” in the Upcoming Articles page, (where you do have the option to toggle them back on). Our inability to properly tag this content will also impact your Topics analytics.

Do you have an affiliate or referral program?

Yes, our rasa.io Affiliate Program offers affiliates a 20% referral commission quarterly, with no payment responsibilities and flexible management options.
